CEO & Co-Founder, Lonix Inc. | Retired U.S. Air Force Major | Builder of Systems That Scale
Felix Carrillo III
I build infrastructure that puts people in control of their own data. As CEO of Lonix Inc., I lead the development of a user-owned data ecosystem that restores trust, transparency, and shared value to the digital economy.
My path here started with 22 years of service in the United States Air Force, where I learned that the best systems are built on discipline, accountability, and a relentless focus on mission.
Retired U.S. Air Force Major
From the Flight Line to the Future of Data
My career began on the flight line at Barksdale Air Force Base, where I maintained the systems that kept aircraft mission-ready. Over 22 years, I rose from Airman Basic to Major — earning a commission as a Distinguished Graduate through Air Force ROTC at Louisiana State University, where I also earned my Bachelor of Science in Finance.
Along the way, I managed multi-million-dollar acquisition programs, led maintenance operations for combat-coded aircraft, and advised Air Force Materiel Command's senior leadership on the career management of over 500 colonels, general officers, and senior executives.
I retired in 2024 with a Meritorious Service Medal and a clear mission: to build technology that serves people, not the other way around.
